How can dairy contribute to healthy ageing?

An important aspect of healthy ageing is the preservation of muscle and bone mass. This can help to delay the onset of age-related conditions such as sarcopenia (muscle loss) and osteoporosis (bone weakening). Although there are many factors which can contribute to these conditions, diet and exercise can play an important role in their prevention.

Dairy products provide a source of both protein and calcium, which are important nutrients for the maintenance of normal muscle and bone health.
